Council to Consider Medical Marijuana Legislation

June 13, 2017

Six new conditional use zoning ordinances that would allow businesses to grow medical marijuana in Akron were proposed at council Monday evening. All six were scheduled for public hearings on June 26. The city’s planning department has recommended disapproval of all six of the conditional use zoning requests. Council passed legislation giving additional funds to the Director of Neighborhood Assistance for installing baby changing tables in both women’s and men’s restrooms at all Akron parks and community centers. Currently less than half of those restrooms have changing tables.
